Episode 61 — Monitor vendor controls using evidence, updates, and incident notifications (Task 9)

This episode teaches how to monitor AI vendor controls as an ongoing responsibility, because AAISM scenarios often test whether you can maintain assurance after onboarding instead of assuming the initial review is enough. You will learn how to define what evidence must be delivered, how often it must be refreshed, and how to validate changes when vendors update models, platforms, or data handling practices. We walk through practical monitoring signals like security bulletins, release notes that affect logging or retention, incident notifications, and control attestations, showing how each input should trigger review steps and documented decisions. Troubleshooting focuses on the most common failure modes: accepting vendor claims without verification, missing notification pathways, and allowing vendor changes to silently invalidate previously accepted risk assumptions.
